Men's basketball against the Buffs

Now that is the definition of an exciting game. I guess it is possible to beat the Buffs in one sport this year. The men's basketball team came together and pulled off a great game.

I was most surprised by the amount of the fans there. It could have been for the fact CSU played CU, but still, it was great to see Moby Arena filled for once. The entire student section was filled and the majority of the other sections were filled almost to the top.

I felt like the game kept going back and fourth with points, but that is how a basketball game should go. I was getting nervous that we would lose, but I still kept my faith knowing that CSU would pull through. With what felt like only a few seconds remaining, CU scored, but CSU came right back and scored the winning basket.

Anytime CSU plays CU, the arena is going to be packed. I was surprised though this season because I feel like almost every sport at CSU has lost it's fan base. Basketball is always such a fun and exciting sport, but really no students go to the games.

Overall, it was a fun, exciting and memorable game. The team played well and the fans showed support. Now if we could just beat CU in football...

  1. I am a senior this year, and I had never attended a basketball game before. Or even been inside of Moby for that matter. This was my first basketball game here, and I think I picked the perfect game! I couldn't believe how intense this game was! The last minute of that game felt like the most stressful moments of my life with how back and forth it was. It was almost anyone's game but we really pulled through. That night one of my CU friends tried to still be "all that" explaining that only losers would rush the court for a game where both teams sucked...sore loser. It was phenomenal.

  2. For me being the biggest sports fan, I actually missed this game (working). I still can't believe I missed it! Being a junior this means it was my last home game against the Buffs. Which means I will have to make it to Boulder next year and hopefully see the Rams beat the Buffs again!
